Hi all,

On Sunday 24 April at 1pm, there will be a special edition of the channel 10's Trackside featuring the Full Lock Drift Nationals! Please have a look (or tape it if you are going to be at the drags), it wont dissappoint.

Please support this sport, have a look, and give channel 10 a call to ask for more - even if you arent into drifting yourself, get behind this motorsport for your fellow SAU members that are :D.

This will be a huge help in getting the sport of drift off the ground, and the only way media coverage will continue.

Cheers

Steve

PS, sorry for the late notice

Sweet action! On a "mainstream" channel and coverage was a lot better than the last drift event on sbs i think it was.

Thought it wouldnt be as exciting to watch as jap drifting, now im thinking about taking the trip over east to watch the next semi's :rofl:

Wasnt a bad coverage - please guys, ring channel 10 and ask for more so we can have MORE :rofl:

Her32, I was at the Sydney round last year, and it was well worth going. The local guys arent bad at all, but the jap D1 demo, words just cannot describe the crazy speeds and how close these guys drive - video just doesnt do its justice

Oh, and the sbs coverage of the malalla event should be better than the last one. They are doing the full pro series thing and will have similar commercial type coverage - so I am told.

Keep an eye out for it on May 1, 12 non, SBS

(EDIT: more coverage = more sponsor $$$ = more drift comps australia wide. The Drift Australia round is talking of coming to WA in 2006, would be nice if we had a decent following/local series going before then )

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
